Description
For female sample adults age 30 and older who ever had a breast MRI (BMRIEV), BMRILY reports the main reason that the respondent had their last breast MRI test.
Data Collection Process
Interviewers asked the open-ended question, "What is the main reason you had this breast MRI?" The interviewer then fit the response into one of the categories included on the survey form (i.e., follow-up of abnormal mammogram, breast problem, health care provider said at high risk, family history of breast cancer, routine exam, personal request, or other).
The 2010 Field Representative's Manual advised that:
For any of the questions that asks, "What is the main reason you had this exam?" ... if the respondent had a problem, but was not sure which reason to pick, then record the first one she gives, as her initial thought is probably the best option.
For a description of the breast MRI test, see BMRIEV .
